Peter Lorre was unable to speak English at the time of filming (a German Jew, he had fled from Nazi Germany only recently), and learned his lines phonetically.

Hitchcock hired composer Arthur Benjamin to write a piece of music especially for the climactic scene at Royal Albert Hall. The music, known as the Storm Clouds cantata, is used in both the 1934 and 1956 versions.
